T a/ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CoRA A. WEBER LIND- SAY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aCombined Garment and Hose Support; and I do declare the followin g to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and

to the figures of reference marked thereon,

which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new andy useful improvements in a'combined garment and hose support.

The invention has for its object the provision of a supportof theabove-named class in whichA certain new and novel improvements/are addedor combined for the purpose of increasing its usefulness. V-

With the above objects inview the inven-v tion inally consists in thenovel construction; combination, -and arrangement of parts, as will behereinafter more specifically described in detail.

In describing the'in'vention in detail reference is hadlto theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and whereinlike numerals designate like parts throughout the'several views, inwhich"- Figure lisaplan view of the back of the improved'support. Fig. 2is a view of the inside 'of one 'of the endpieces, showing thehooklfastener's. Fig. 3 is a plan viewof the hose-fastenerl"V Fig. 4 isa vertical sectional view through the same on the line XX of Fig.; 3.

Referring to the drawings for the detail parts of the support, thenumerals l, 2, and 3 designate thev three parts which form the body ofthe support andare -made of :cloth or likel material, and each of theseparts has a downwardly-extended end, las shown. The inner ends oftheparts -1 and'3 are pivotally joined at their bottom portions to thelower ends ofthe centralor rear part 2 by suitable rivets e. The edgesabove the pivoted points are provided with eyelets 5, and into theseeyelets are arranged the lace-string 6. The

Serial No. 654.366. (No model.)

of the parts 1 and 3 together where they meet at the front a series ofsuitable hooks 7 are :attached to the inner side of the' part 3 andeyebars or eyelets 8 upon the outer edge of thevpart 1. Anupwardly-extended piece 9 is joined to the upper edge ofthe central orback portion 2, and upon the vinner upper edge of this piece arearranged suitable eyelets o1' eyepieces whereby the shoulder-straps 10and 10 are connected thereto by suitable hooks 11. The opposite ends ofthese shoulder-straps have each attached to theirvinner sides a short'strap lO', whereby they are connected to fastenersvo'r buckles 12,which are attached to the extension-piece 13 and flappiece 141-. j

Pivotally arranged -upon each of the rivets 4. is a short ,elastic strap15, which is provided vwith a bucle or fastener 16, and to each ofthesefasteners are attached the hose-supports 1'7, which have thefasteners 18 attached to their lower ends, where they engage with thehose. These fasteners are formed from a single piece of wire bent in themanner shown at YFigs. 3 and 4, with the dattened portion l13 formedupon it and a sliding frame 19 iitted within. This frame is hollowed outat 'its under side, as shown, and in use the edge of the hose is drawnover theltop of the ilattened portion and the sliding frame forced downupon it, thus securing the hose..- The flaps 2O are also pivotallyarranged upon the pivots 4, so as to protect the garmentsifrom thefasteners'.

:A series of eyebars or eyelets 21 are arrangediupon the back piece 2,as Well as the It will be readily apparent that by pivotally.

attaching the hose-supports in the manner described they are free tomove back and forth with the movement of the limbs, and by fastening theshoulder-straps to the rear body piece in the manner described they areable to move freely with the motion of the body.

Having thus shown and described my invention, what I claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A combined garment and hose supporter, comprising a band or bodyportion consisting of sections laced together at their proximate edges,in combination with depending hosesupporting straps pivotally secured tothe body portion, and depending front and rear napkin e supportingattachments, substantially as described.

2. The combination with the body portion consisting,` of the seetious l,2 and 3 seeured together by rivets and lacing-cords, of hosesupportingstraps pivotally secured to the body portion by the rivets which securethe sections of the body portion together, depending napkin-supportingattachments at the front and rear of the body portion, anupwardly-extending tab-piece S) secured to the rear section of the body,shoulder-straps the rear ends of which are adapted to be secured to thepiece 9, and fastenings 12 and 13 secured to the front sections of; thebody portion, to which the front ends of the shoulderstraps are secured,substantially as described.

The combination with the body portion consisting of the seetions l, 2and E), secured together by rivets and lacing-cords, said sections l and2 being provided with elastie straps 22 and having secured theretonapkin-supporting attachments 24 and 25, and with flapproteetors 26 and27 for covering the elastic straps, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signatu re in presence of two witnesses.
